I thought I'd post a picture of my garden - not a machine in sight.

Topic merged - site admin.

I have just received some parts from the U.S.A. costing £50. I had to pay £8.50 customs duty and £8.00 to the Post Office for putting a sticker on saying I had to pay £8.50 duty - total £16.50. What a rip off!

It is too late, I have already changed them up in a coin machine in Sainsburys - pity I did not think of that.

The scales cost £331 plus £60 diesel, as I went there twice; £20 for my nephew to help me up the stairs and I have sent off for some parts, £80. Total £491.

Hi. can any one tell me the knack of fitting the fortune strip into a watling scales.

Not knowing much about computors is it possible to go to a computor shop and get a print of the young lady with the fruit machine enlarged to 2ft.x2ft. or is it copyrite.

Hi. did you get that picture from a book.

You are quite right it is a Pavillion - I have it marked on the key label. Old age is getting to me, Mervyn.

The Watling scales on ebay I have just won, so I set off with my flask of tea, slice of cake and my tobacco to collect them. I arranged to get there at 7.30pm but arrived at 6.30pm. I think this is the first time there was no traffic on the M25 - the other drivers knew I was coming and that I only h...

Hi! It is not a Tivoli. There is a sign on the machine witch reads "Test Your Skill". There are three columns; the middle one says "Win A Cigar". You flick a penny up and if it goes in the middle column you get a token to change for a cigar. The other two columns return your penn...
